Description
Technical Field
The present specification relates to semiconductor device modules (semiconductor device assemblies, semiconductor device module assemblies, etc.). More particularly, the present description relates to semiconductor device modules having improved thermal performance and reduced mechanical stress.
Background
Semiconductor device assemblies such as assemblies including power semiconductor devices such as power transistors (e.g., insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs), etc.) may be implemented using multiple semiconductor die, one or more substrates (e.g., directly bonded metal substrates), and electrical interconnects such as bond wires, conductive spacers, and conductive clips, as well as molding compounds (e.g., epoxy molding compounds) that act as sealants to protect other components of the associated device assemblies.
For example, such power transistor devices may be used to implement an electrical inverter for use in an Electric Vehicle (EV) and/or a hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV). However, current implementations of semiconductor device assemblies including such power transistors (e.g., in combination with Fast Recovery Diodes (FRDs)) have certain drawbacks. For example, current implementations may only allow cooling of the component on a single side of the component (e.g., by attaching a heat sink). This can lead to and/or exacerbate stresses between components within such assemblies, such as tensile stress and strain energy on the included semiconductor die, which can damage (e.g., crack) those semiconductor die. As the power requirements and associated operating temperatures of such devices increase, the event of such damage will also increase.

Detailed Description
The present disclosure relates to implementations of semiconductor device assemblies including signal distribution assemblies (e.g., electrical interconnect appliances or structures) that may improve thermal performance and reduce mechanical stress in such assemblies (e.g., power transistor assemblies). For example, in some implementations, the power transistor assembly may include a pre-molded electrical interconnect structure or signal distribution assembly, wherein contact surfaces (of portions of the conductive pillars for contacting the semiconductor die and/or leadframe) are exposed through molding compound for pre-molding the structure. The pre-molded structure may then be coupled with the thermally conductive ceramic layer (e.g., using a thermally conductive adhesive such as epoxy). Such implementations may be referred to as Substrate Bonded Ceramic (SBC) components.
In some implementations, a signal distribution assembly having a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stack structure, which may be referred to as a MIM assembly, may be used. In contrast to SBC assemblies, MIM assemblies may not include molding compound, e.g., may not be pre-molded. Such signal distribution structures (e.g., SBC structures and/or MIM structures) as shown in semiconductor device assemblies described herein may improve thermal performance (reduce thermal resistance) by allowing for double sided cooling, which increases (e.g., may approximately double increase) heat dissipation area compared to current device assemblies with single sided cooling. Implementations described herein may also achieve shorter thermal (and electrical) conduction paths (e.g., by partially eliminating the use of conductive spacers), which also improve thermal performance (e.g., reduce thermal resistance) and improve mechanical performance (e.g., reduce mechanical stress on the semiconductor die stress), as well as improve solder joint reliability due to the mechanical flexibility of the disclosed SBC and MIM structures. The methods described herein may reduce thermal resistance (e.g., junction-to-shell and/or junction-to-slot thermal resistance) by 19% to 36% as compared to current implementations of power transistor assemblies used in, for example, electric Vehicle (EV) and/or Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) electrical inverter applications. Furthermore, the methods described herein may reduce die tensile stress by 10% to 13% compared to current methods, which may reduce the occurrence of die cracking, and may also improve die top pad reliability by 19% to 40%, for example, as a result of reducing die top strain density.
Fig. 1A is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating a side view of a signal distribution assembly 100. The example of fig. 1A may be referred to as an SBC structure, such as described above. As shown in fig. 1A, signal distribution assembly 100 includes a pre-molded signal distribution assembly 110, a ceramic layer 120, and an adhesive 130. The pre-molded signal distribution assembly 110 may include a metal layer 112 and a molding compound 114 for the pre-molded metal layer 112. The metal layer 112 shown in fig. 1A is for illustration (and context) purposes. In some implementations, the metal layer 112 may not be visible in the view shown in fig. 1A because it is obscured by the molding compound 114.
In this example, the molding compound 114 may provide mechanical stability to the metal layer 112 (which may be less than 1 millimeter thick) while still allowing sufficient mechanical flexibility to reduce the occurrence of stresses within the associated semiconductor device assembly including the signal distribution assembly 100. As some examples, ceramic layer 120 may be a thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer, such as alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) Aluminum nitride (AlN), silicon nitride Si 3 N 4 Or resins such as polyimide. Adhesive agent130 may be used to couple the ceramic layer 120 to the pre-molded signal distribution assembly 110. In some examples, as one example, the adhesive 130 may be a thermally and electrically conductive epoxy, such as a silver filled epoxy. In other implementations, the adhesive 130 may be a thermally conductive but electrically insulating adhesive material, such as a thermal interface material.
Fig. 1B is a schematic diagram illustrating a plan view (e.g., bottom side plan view) of a signal distribution portion (e.g., metal layer 112) of the assembly 100 of fig. 1A. As shown in fig. 1B, in this example, metal layer 112 includes a base portion 140, pillars 142, pillars 144, pillars 146, and pillars 148, wherein each of pillars 142-148 extends away from base portion 140 (e.g., out of the page), such as further illustrated at least in fig. 1C.
As can be seen from a comparison of fig. 1A and 1B, the portion of the metal layer 112 shown in fig. 1A (e.g., the portion exposed via the molding compound 114) corresponds to the pillars 148. In some implementations, the metal layer 112 may be formed from a metal sheet, where etching or other processes may be performed on the metal sheet to form the base portion 140 and the pillars 142-148. In some implementations, the metal layer 112 may be formed using one or more deposition processes and/or sputtering processes. In some implementations, the metal layer 112 may be formed of copper, aluminum-copper, copper-molybdenum, and/or one or more other conductive materials. In this example, the metal layer 112 is monolithic. In other words, base portion 140 and posts 142-148 are included in a unitary structure, which may eliminate the use of conductive spacers and thus reduce reliability problems associated with such spacers.
Fig. 1C is a schematic diagram illustrating a side view of the metal layer 112 of fig. 1B. In this example, the metal layer 112 is viewed along the direction V1 shown in fig. 1B. In the view shown in fig. 1C, post 144, post 146, and post 148 are shown extending away from base portion 140. As also shown in fig. 1C, the metal layer 112 has a first side S1 and a second side S2. In this example, side S1 is planar, which facilitates coupling (e.g., using adhesive 130) pre-molded signal distribution assembly 110 with ceramic layer 120 to create signal distribution assembly 100. Further, in this example, side S2 is non-planar, with posts 142-148 extending away from base portion 140.
Fig. 1D is a schematic diagram illustrating a plan view of the metal layer 112 of fig. 1B after being pre-molded with a molding compound 114 and attaching a ceramic layer 120 to form the pre-molded signal distribution assembly 100 of fig. 1A. In an exemplary implementation, the metal layer 112 may be placed (and/or formed) in a molding jig, and then a transfer molding process (or other molding encapsulation process) may be performed to apply the molding compound 114 to the side S2 of the metal layer 112. As shown in FIG. 1D, after this molding process, the corresponding upper surfaces of pillars 142-148 are exposed through molding compound 114, for example, using a film-assisted molding technique. In some implementations, these upper surfaces may be exposed by controlling the volume of molding compound 114 applied to the side S2 of the metal layer 112 such that the upper surfaces of the pillars are not encapsulated in the molding compound 114. In other implementations, a grinding process may be performed to expose the upper surfaces of the pillars 142-148 via the molding compound 114 after the molding process.
In an exemplary implementation, the signal distribution assembly 100 may be included in a power transistor device assembly including a power transistor such as an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) or a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and a Fast Recovery Diode (FRD). Depending on the particular implementation, the power transistors and/or FRDs may be implemented in silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, or any suitable semiconductor material. In some implementations, the exposed surfaces of pillars 142 and 144 can be coupled with a power transistor (e.g., with a collector terminal of an IGBT or a source terminal of a MOSFET). In addition, the exposed surface of pillars 146 may be coupled with the cathode terminal of the FRD such that metal layer 112 electrically couples the power transistor (emitter or source) with the FRD (cathode). Still further, posts 148 may be coupled with signal pads (signal terminals, signal leads, etc.) of a leadframe included in a corresponding power transistor assembly. An example of this is shown in fig. 3.
In some implementations, the arrangement of posts on the base portion 140, as well as the shape and size of the base portion 140, may vary. As an example, in some implementations, a single column (e.g., a larger column) may replace columns 142 and 144.
Fig. 1E is a schematic diagram of a plan view (e.g., bottom side plan view) showing another signal distribution portion (e.g., metal layer 112 a) of the SBC structure. As shown in fig. 1E, similar to metal layer 112 of fig. 1A-1D, metal layer 112a includes (e.g., monolithically) base portion 150, pillars 152, pillars 154, pillars 156, pillars 158, and pillars 159, wherein each of pillars 152-159 extends away from base portion 150 (e.g., out of the page), similar to pillars 142-148 of metal layer 112. The metal layer 112a also includes a base portion 160, pillars 162, and pillars 164 that are physically and electrically separate from the base portion 150 and pillars 152-159, and may also be monolithic. That is, as shown in FIG. 1E, base portion 150 and pillars 152-159 are included in a first portion of metal layer 112a, while base portion 160 and pillars 162-164 are included in a second portion of metal layer 112 a.
Fig. 1F is a schematic diagram illustrating the metal layer 112a of fig. 1E after a ceramic layer, such as ceramic layer 120, is pre-molded and attached with molding compound 114a to form a signal distribution assembly 100 (e.g., SBC structure) similar to the signal distribution assembly 100 of fig. 1A. In an exemplary implementation, the metal layer 112a may be placed (and/or formed) in a molding jig, and then a transfer molding process (or other molding encapsulation process) may be performed to apply the molding compound 114a to the sides of the metal layer 112 including the pillars 152-159 and the pillars 162-164 (e.g., using film-assisted molding to cover the visible portions of the base portion 150 and the base portion 160, for example). As shown in FIG. 1F, after the molding process, the respective upper surfaces of pillars 152-159 and pillars 162-164 are exposed through molding compound 114 a. In some implementations, these upper surfaces may be exposed by controlling the volume of molding compound 114a applied such that the upper surfaces are not encapsulated in molding compound 114 a. In other implementations, a grinding process may be performed to expose the upper surfaces of pillars 152-159 and pillars 162-164 via molding compound 114a after the molding process.
In an exemplary implementation, the signal distribution assembly 100a may be included in a power transistor device assembly including a power transistor such as an IGBT or MOSFET and an FRD. Depending on the particular implementation, the power transistors and/or diodes may be implemented in silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, or any suitable semiconductor material. In an exemplary implementation, the exposed surfaces of pillars 152 and 154 may be coupled with a power transistor (e.g., with the collector terminal of an IGBT or the source terminal of a MOSFET). Further, the pillars 156 may be coupled with a cathode terminal of the FRD, and the metal layer 112a may electrically couple the power transistor (emitter or source) with the FRD (cathode). Still further, posts 158 may be coupled with signal pads (signal terminals, signal leads, etc.) of a leadframe included in a corresponding power transistor assembly, and posts 159 may be coupled with thermally sensed signal pins of the leadframe. In addition, pillars 162 may be coupled with gate terminals of corresponding power transistor semiconductor die, and pillars 164 may be coupled with gate signal pins of a leadframe. An example of this is shown in fig. 4.
In some implementations, the arrangement of the respective posts on base portion 150 and base portion 160, as well as the respective shapes and sizes of base portion 150 and base portion 160, may vary. As an example, in some implementations, the base portion 160 may be a straight metal trace, and may include additional corners or bends to route gate signals from corresponding signal pins of an associated leadframe to gate pads on a semiconductor die including an associated power transistor, as appropriate for a particular implementation.
Fig. 2A is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating a side view of signal distribution assembly 200. The example of fig. 2A may be referred to as a MIM structure, such as described above. As shown in fig. 2A, signal distribution assembly 200 includes a metal layer 210, a metal layer 220, and an insulator layer 230. In some implementations, the metal layer 210 and the metal layer 220 may be coupled to respective sides of the insulator layer 230 using Active Metal Brazing (AMB), sintering, plating, and the like. In contrast to the pre-molded signal distribution assembly 110 and the metal layer 112, the metal layer 210 does not include pre-molding. In this example, structural support for 210 (and metal layer 220) is provided by insulator layer 230 while still allowing sufficient mechanical flexibility to reduce the phase comprising signal distribution assembly 200The occurrence of stresses within the associated semiconductor device assembly. As some examples, insulator layer 230 may be a thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer, such as tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), may be a thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer, such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) Aluminum nitride (AlN), silicon nitride Si 3 N 4 Silicon dioxide (SiO) 2 ) Resins such as polyimide or epoxy.
In this example, with further reference to fig. 2B, fig. 2A is a schematic diagram illustrating a side view of signal distribution assembly 200 viewed along direction V2 shown in fig. 2B. In the view shown in fig. 2A, the post 244 and post 246 are shown extending away from the base portion 240. As also shown in fig. 2A, the metal layer 210 has a first side S3 and a second side S3. In this example, side S3 is planar, which may facilitate coupling metal layer 210 with insulator layer 230. Further, in this example, side S4 of metal layer 210 is non-planar, with columns 242 and 248 extending away from base portion 240 (e.g., extending the paper in fig. 2B) (as shown in fig. 2B).
Fig. 2B is a schematic diagram illustrating a plan view (e.g., bottom side plan view) of the signal distribution assembly 200 of fig. 2A. As shown in fig. 2B, in this example, side S4 of metal layer 210 includes a base portion 240 and pillars 242-246, wherein each of pillars 242-246 extends away from base portion 240 (e.g., out of the page).
In some implementations, the metal layer 210 may be formed from a metal sheet, where etching or other processes may be performed on the metal sheet to form the base portion 240 and the pillars 242-246. In some implementations, the metal layer 210 may be formed using one or more deposition processes and/or sputtering processes. In some implementations, the metal layer 210 may be formed of copper, aluminum-copper, copper-molybdenum, and/or one or more other conductive materials. In this example, the metal layer 210 is monolithic. In other words, the base portion 240 and the posts 242-246 are included in a unitary structure, which may eliminate the use of conductive spacers and thus reduce reliability problems associated with such spacers.
In an exemplary implementation, the signal distribution assembly 200 may be included in a power transistor device assembly including a power transistor such as an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) or a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and a Fast Recovery Diode (FRD). Depending on the particular implementation, the power transistors and/or FRDs may be implemented in silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, or any suitable semiconductor material. In some implementations, respective upper surfaces (e.g., the surfaces shown in fig. 2B) of pillars 242 and 244 can be coupled with a power transistor (e.g., with a collector terminal of an IGBT or a source terminal of a MOSFET). Further, an upper surface of the pillars 246 (e.g., the surface shown in fig. 2B) may be coupled with the cathode terminal of the FRD such that the metal layer 210 electrically couples the power transistor (emitter or source) with the FRD (cathode). Still further, the base portion 240 may be coupled with signal pads (signal terminals, signal leads, etc.) of a leadframe included in a corresponding power transistor assembly, for example, near the edge 248. This example is similar to the implementation of fig. 3.
In some implementations, the arrangement of posts on the base portion 240 and the shape and size of the base portion 240 may vary. As an example, in some implementations, a single column (e.g., a larger column) may replace columns 242 and 244, and/or the size and shape of base layer 240 may vary.
Fig. 2C is a schematic diagram illustrating a plan view (e.g., bottom side plan view) of another signal distribution assembly 200 a. As shown in fig. 2C, metal layer 210a (which is similar to and may be implemented in place of metal layer 210 of fig. 2A and 2B) includes a base portion 250, pillars 252, pillars 254, and pillars 256, wherein each of the pillars 252-256 extends away from base portion 250 (e.g., out of the page). Metal layer 210a also includes a base portion 260 and pillars 262 that are physically and electrically separated from base portion 250 and pillars 252-256. That is, as shown in FIG. 2C, base portion 250 and pillars 252-256 are included in a first portion of metal layer 210, while base portion 260 and pillars 262 are included in a second portion of metal layer 210 a.
In an exemplary implementation, the signal distribution assembly 200a may be included in a power transistor device assembly including a power transistor such as an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) or a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) and a Fast Recovery Diode (FRD). Depending on the particular implementation, the power transistors and/or FRDs may be implemented in silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, or any suitable semiconductor material. In some implementations, respective upper surfaces (e.g., the surfaces shown in fig. 2C) of pillars 252 and 254 can be coupled with a power transistor (e.g., with the collector terminal of an IGBT or the source terminal of a MOSFET). Further, an upper surface of the pillars 256 (e.g., the surface shown in fig. 2C) may be coupled with the cathode terminal of the FRD such that the metal layer 210a electrically couples the power transistor (emitter or source) with the FRD (cathode). Still further, the base portion 250 may be coupled with signal pads (signal terminals, signal leads, etc.) of a leadframe included in a corresponding power transistor assembly, for example, near edge 258, and may also be coupled with thermal sensing signal pins of the leadframe, for example, near edge 259. In addition, pillars 262 can be coupled with gate terminals of corresponding power transistor semiconductor die, and base portions 260 (e.g., near edges 264) can be coupled with gate signal pins of a leadframe. This example is similar to the implementation shown in fig. 4.
In some implementations, the arrangement of the respective posts on the base portion 250 and the base portion 260, as well as the respective shapes and sizes of the base portion 250 and the base portion 260, may vary. As an example, in some implementations, the base portion 260 may not be a straight metal trace, but may include corners or bends to route gate signals from corresponding signal pins of an associated leadframe to gate pads on a semiconductor die including an associated power transistor.

For brevity, this flow (e.g., flow for signal distribution component 200) is not shown here.
In this example, referring first to the left-hand portion of fig. 3, the semiconductor device module 300 may include a substrate 310, which may be a DBM substrate. The substrate 310 may include a top metal layer 312, which may be a copper layer or other metal layer. As shown in fig. 3, semiconductor die 320 and semiconductor die 330 may be coupled with top metal layer 312 of substrate 310, for example, via a solder reflow process, a sintering process, or other suitable process. Blade signal terminals 374 (of the leadframe) may also be coupled with top metal layer 312 using the same process operations (soldering, sintering, etc.) used to attach semiconductor die 320 and semiconductor die 330 to top metal layer 312.
In this example, semiconductor die 320 may include a power transistor, such as an IGBT or MOSFET, and semiconductor die 330 may include an FRD.

In addition, posts 148 of signal distribution assembly 100 may be aligned with corresponding solder portions (not shown in fig. 3) disposed on blade terminals 348 (of the lead frame). A solder reflow process may then be performed to couple signal distribution assembly 100 to semiconductor die 320, semiconductor die 330, and blade terminals 348 (via the respective pillars of signal distribution assembly 100).
As also shown in fig. 3, the leadframe of semiconductor device module 300 may further include a signal pin 370 (e.g., a gate signal pin) and a signal pin 372 (e.g., a thermal sense signal pin), which may be coupled with semiconductor die 320 via wire bond 370a and wire bond 372a, respectively.

In this example, referring first to the left portion of fig. 4, the semiconductor device module 400 may include a substrate 410, which may be a DBM substrate. The substrate 410 may include a top metal layer 412, which may be a copper layer or other metal layer. As shown in fig. 4, semiconductor die 420 and semiconductor die 430 may be coupled with top metal layer 412 of substrate 410, for example, via a solder reflow process, a sintering process, or other suitable process. Blade signal terminals 474 (of the leadframe) may also be coupled with top metal layer 412 using the same process operations (soldering, sintering, etc.) used to attach semiconductor die 420 and semiconductor die 430 to top metal layer 412.
In this example, semiconductor die 420 may include a power transistor, such as an IGBT or MOSFET, and semiconductor die 430 may include an FRD. In this example, top metal layer 412 of substrate 410 and blade signal terminal 474 are electrically coupled with either a collector terminal (for the IGBT included in semiconductor die 420) or a drain terminal (for the MOSFET included in semiconductor die 420) and an anode for the FRD included in semiconductor die 430. That is, top metal layer 412 electrically couples both the power transistor (collector or drain) and the FRD (anode) to blade signal terminal 474.
As further shown in fig. 4, a solder printing or dispensing operation may be performed to form solder portion 452, solder portion 454, solder portion 456, and solder portion 462, which correspond to posts 152, 154, 156, and 162, respectively, of signal distribution assembly 100 a. That is, the signal distribution assembly 100a may be flipped over and placed over the solder sections 452, 454, 456, and 462 such that the posts 152, 154, 156, and 162 are aligned with their respective solder sections. Further, posts 158 of signal distribution assembly 100a may be aligned with corresponding solder portions (not shown in fig. 4) disposed on blade terminals 448. Still further, posts 159 and 164 of signal distribution assembly 100a may be aligned with corresponding solder portions (not shown in fig. 4) disposed on signal pins 472 (e.g., thermal sense signal pins) and signal pins 472 (e.g., gate signal pins) of the lead frame. A solder reflow process may then be performed to couple the signal distribution assembly 100a to the semiconductor die 420, the semiconductor die 430, the paddle terminals 448, the signal pins 472, and the signal pins 470 (via the respective pillars of the signal distribution assembly 100 a). In this implementation, wire bonds 370a and 372a are replaced with signal routing implemented in signal distribution assembly 100a, as compared to the implementation of fig. 3.
